Near the turn of the nineteenth century, Dr. Thornhollow helps teenaged Grace Mae escape from the Boston asylum where she was sent after becoming pregnant by rape, and takes her to Ohio where they put her intelligence and remarkable memory to use in trying to catch murderers.
I'm not used to reading books without romance, but I'd say this one was even better without it. The star less is more due to the feelings that go with the change in my reading habits, but A Madness so Discreet stands tall and proud because the plot is just amazing. It's that kind that will have you thinking something is going to happen, and then boom, book goes like 'Ha ha, well, you guessed wrong.' I loved it!
